DWAYNE GIROUX

DWAYNE GIROUX May 6, 1951 ~ March 15, 2026
With, Judy, his loving wife of 48 years by his side, Dwayne Morris John Giroux passed away at St. Joseph’s Home – Carmel Hospice in Medicine Hat on Sunday, March 15, 2026, at the age of 74 years.
Along with Judy, Dwayne is survived by his family: Audrey (Randy) Greer, Alva Boucher, Lovina Berner, Eugene (Bernice) Giroux, Lyle (Dot) Braunwarth, Faye Cumbers, Karen Crawford (Brian) and extended families.

Dwayne was born in Weyburn, Saskatchewan on May 6, 1951, the youngest of 12 children. Being raised in a large family, many of Dwayne’s siblings had already left home when he was born so he had his Mama wrapped around his little finger.
After graduation, Dwayne attended Sask Tech Institute in Moose Jaw and was hired right out of school by Calgary Power in 1971, working there for 25 years. In between his careers with the power companies, he started his own contracting business in Foremost. Dwayne always loved working with his hands building and renovating houses. In 1997, Dwayne had the opportunity to work for South Alta REA . This was when the farmer owned co-op decided to do their own power construction and maintenance, which later became Equs. He thoroughly enjoyed working there until his retirement, making many lasting friendships along the way.
A Celebration of Dwayne’s life will be held at a later date. (Condolences may be expressed by visiting our website at http://www.cooksouthland.com) Memorial tributes in Dwayne’s name may be made directly to the SPCA, 55 Southwest Drive S.W., Medicine Hat, AB., T1A 8E8.
